History and programming
[edit | edit source]WRTC began broadcasting as campus station on February 26, 1947 and received its FCC license on June 30, 1958.[2] The station's programming includes music and artist interviews, spanning a wide range of genres, including jazz, techno, progressive, and world music.
The station also airs shows about local politics and public affairs on The Community Talk Show, a bi-weekly panel discussion exploring topics ranging from social welfare, healthcare, and politics to economic development, law enforcement, and unemployment.[3] The station's sportscasters provide home and away game coverage of the Bantams in NESCAC football during the fall.[3]
WRTC-FM has hosted multiple music festivals in Hartford.[4] In 2015, the station's Southern soul show Greasy Tracks celebrated its 20-year-anniversary.
